This is the same guy who convinced Zelensky to withdraw from the peace agreement Ukraine signed with Russia and sealed the deal two years ago. And now, he's worried... He's also the same guy who claimed Putin will fall from power before the war ends. A few months later, he was forced to resign from the office 😂

@gintasvilkelis2544 23 дня назад

It was a Ukraine capitulation agreement that Ukrainians were not going to sign anyway. And as for when Putin will fall from power, the war isn't over yet, so it's too early to say if his prediction was right or wrong.
